On 11 June 2009, the World Health Organization declared the first human influenza pandemic since 1968–1969. The responsible virus, pandemic (H1N1) 2009 influenza, is a novel triple-reassortant influenza A virus, incorporating avian, swine and human influenza genes.1 The virus is resistant to the anti-influenza medications, amantadine and rimantadine, but is generally sensitive to the neuraminidase inhibitors, oseltamivir and zanamivir.

متن کاملRapid detection of reassortment of pandemic H1N1/2009 influenza virus.
BACKGROUND Influenza viruses can generate novel reassortants in coinfected cells. The global circulation and occasional introductions of pandemic H1N1/2009 virus in humans and in pigs, respectively, may allow this virus to reassort with other influenza viruses. These possible reassortment events might alter virulence and/or transmissibility of the new reassortants. Investigations to detect such...
